Berlingske Aftenavis - 2l. October l942. By Jörgen Bast: Around the speech of the Secretary of State Frank in Prague. An eventful political creation, born through the World War. When the commission tried to mediate Runciman. The decisive hours in Asch - and what followed. The speech that Secretary of State Frank gave on Sunday on the occasion of the renaming of the Moldovan Ufer to "Reinhard Heydrich-Ufer" in Prague has attracted attention all over the world. It is only the few who are aware of who this man is who gave this powerful speech. While Konrad Henlein's name flew all over the world in 1938 in the Czechoslovak crisis, it was only the initiates who knew about Frank's meaning, but in reality this meaning was not behind that which was exercised by the "man of Asch" so that he could be regarded as a personality who had a decisive significance on the European events that preceded the present war. Karl Hermann Frank is now a man of forty-four years. He is the son of a teacher from Karlovy Vary - and was born in this way in the centre of Sudetendeutschland. In his school days he lost an eye - and that was the reason why he was not accepted when he enrolled as a military volunteer very young. But he did not hold back anything, and despite everything he came as a volunteer to participate in the last bloody fight in Upper Silesia. After the break-in of the double union with Deblick, he was a state of the first and was involved in the process of becoming a member.
